I bought this winter 2010, wore it half the season (about 6-8 weeks, once a week), and switched to a vest. The coat is in near new condition - no stains, tears, funk, etc.

From the NSP website:

Hard Shell 2-Layer H2No® NSP worked closely with Patagonia to select this high-quality patrolling shell. Made with two-layer 4.4-oz 100% recycled polyester, this jacket features a multitude of patroller-friendly features, including a two-way adjustable and removable hood, pit-zips for venting, anatomically curved elbows, and a brushed polyester interior for extra insulation and efficient wicking. Also has two zippered chest pockets and a zippered bicep pocket. Interior pockets include an audio device pocket, a drop-in pocket, and a zip stash pocket. The relaxed fit complements skiing or snowboarding movements. A reflective- bordered white 9¼" cross is on the back, and a reflective-bordered white 3½ x 3½" cross is on the chest.
